Dad-in-Chief, Barack Obama, Became President for Malia, Sasha and all other Children
Parade magazine just published a letter about why soon-to-be President of the U.S.A. ran for president. He wanted to give opportunities to his daughters and all other children. He wants them to be happy and fulfill their dreams.
""When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me -- about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world," Obama said in the letter published in Parade magazine, a weekend newspaper color supplement.
"I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfilment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation," wrote the soon-to-be Dad-in-chief.
Obama's wish-list for children includes challenging and inspirational schools; equal opportunity to go to university, regardless of their family's financial standing; and well-paid jobs with benefits such as health care and a pension plan that will allow them to "retire with dignity."

What you need to know about this body wash: LillyPilly body wash and hand creams smell good and show class

I read somewhere that the body washes and hand creams are made from a variety of Aussie plants which include the berries of the lilly pilly tree. they say that it is a source of vitamin C, antioxidants and exfoliating fruit acids.
What I love about this product is the mixture of all other plants and oils that go into its production. In the LillyPilly, you will find ingredients such as oil and extracts from several other exotic-sounding plants such as kakadu plum, quandong fruit, tea tree and Tasmanian kelp. If you want to buy these products, go to www.lillypillyaustralia.com. Prices range from $10 for individual items to $36 for gift packs.

Parents will prepare the kid for transitions by vocally telling him/her actions of appropriate behavior and possible consequences for inappropriate behavior.

Advice for Michelle Obama in Book of Poetry and Letters, Titled "Go, Tell Michelle"
Go, Tell Michelle: African American Women Write to the New First Lady.
This is a new book of advice for the first lady as she is about to live in the White House for a some years now. She is the first Black first lady this nation has ever known. So these women have decided to compile letters and poems into a book by this title, "Go, Tell Michelle: African American Women Write to the New First Lady."
This book contains the hopes, dreams, and inspiration Michelle Obama has inspired in Black women throughout the diaspora. Primarily expressed in letters and poems -- two sister scholars at Buffalo State University asked, via email, African women from around the world to "sound-off" on the newly elected president and his wife, thousands of letters poured in. Selecting from the sea of correspondence is cogent, heart-felt treasure of words, wishes and prayers for Michelle, her daughters and unborn and unrecognized generations of Black women.
“You are me. When I look at you, I see me. I see the young African American woman who, through good family values, strong roots, hard work, and perseverance, has come into her own … Though your journey may not be easy in the coming days, weeks, months, or years, think of us to ease your burden and pain. Think of those who you inspire. Think of those who you have given hope to. Think of those whom you have filled with pride. Think of your sister … Think of your favorite cousin. Think of your mother. Think of me. We are the same.”
“To you Michelle I take off my African woman hat from Cameroon, my motherland. You have given us African women the courage and the hope to move on and up. You keep your head high and hold your husband close to your heart. Keep praying my sister, you are the best. You have lived the dream of every ebony woman. Ride on sister, we are with you.”
“You are the song, you are the proverb, and you are the symbol of human dignity.”
“When you and your family go to the spot under the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial, where Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, you will take with you our history of dreams deferred; however, you will also take with you our prayers and hopes for an America that is ready to build and dream anew.”

What is Happiness? a Journey or a Choice?
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Happiness is a choice, not a consequence. Regardless of most of life's circumstances, we have the power to choose how we regard the circumstances and what we learn from them.
Remember parents that it is not the job of our children to make us happy.
Read about Americans Parents' Pursuit of Happiness
A Poem from Unknown sources
Children learn what they live
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
He learns to find love in the world
